49. Did you see this, Kath? "Hillary Wins The Only Standing Ovation From An Obama Crowd"

effectively while campaigning to reach black voters in 2008. But Clinton showed a capacity for empathy that took some at the plenary by surprise."

snip//

"Clinton didn’t equivocate to the audience here as to whether she was on Obama’s side or not. And she ripped Republicans — namely Jeb Bush on Friday — for saying they want to repeal Obamacare, snipping at the name of Bush’s political action committee, to some of her most enthusiastic applause."

I love this!

Oh heck.. another snip//

"Clinton certainly played to the affinity that voters have for Obama, even alluding to the eulogy of South Carolina State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, in which Obama sang “Amazing Grace.” Said Clinton, “Obama delivered a eulogy that sounded like it had come straight from angels.”

But Clinton more than held her own with this audience, 95% of whom voted for Obama. “I thought she was more comfortable than Ben Carson,” Jones said. “And he’s black.”

WOW!
